Notes:
School of fish: These four fish are knit in the round. Each fish is knitted in one piece from inside of the mouth to the tail.
The chart Fourth Fish 1 is followed from bottom to top, working each row from right to left, three times across the round.
The charts Fourth Fish 2A, 2B, and 2C are followed from bottom to top, working each row from right to left in order: Chart Fourth Fish 2A once, then Chart Fourth Fish 2B once, and then Chart Fourth Fish 2C once, across the round.
The charts Fourth Fish 3A, and 3B are followed from bottom to top, working each row from right to left in order: Chart Fourth Fish 3A once, then Fourth Fish 3B once, across the round.
Meg: The shark is knit in the round from the mouth to the tail. The inside of the mouth is knit separately, with stitches picked up for teeth and bind off in picot bind off. An I-cord is sewn along the mouth opening to create lips. The fins are knit separately and sewn on.
The entire shark is knit in one piece and stuffed as you work. It gets rather large closer to the tail end. An option is to knit the shark’s body in two pieces. Leave the live stitches from the first part on needles, and start the second part with Provisional Cast on and then join the pieces with Kitchener stitch.
